Hey Greg, Just started a minstry called the UpStream Project because of the very stats and trends you are seeing in youth ministry. We equip churches to reach and retain the next generation. To accomplish that goal we have to rethink all aspects of youth ministry. Lots of stuff to discuss, and would love to talk at some point as time allows. Scott

Through the power of the cross and the delight we have in the Spirit of God, let us draw near to Christ’s heart as we search the truth’s that He laid down for us so completely in His word! We must delve deep into the richness of God’s truth! We will see our youth delight at His table once they taste and see that His truth is like honey on their lips! Let us never tire of bringing them to the table to feast. Greg you have spoken great truth! We must also challenge their parents to partake as well, so that they are equipped to feed them too! The break down of the family has lead to unrest in all areas of the Christ’s church. We must fortify the walls with sound doctrine and spiritual truth so that we all might stand! Keep reaching! DTD

As a leader of students and young adults, I am confronted with the fact that my faith must grow along with my students. I cannot sit back and simply teach the simple truths about Jesus Christ without living them out daily. Practical faith produces practical results. When we begin to live our lives as believers in this world, our kids will follow because we have all heard it said "If you light yourself on fire, you are sure to attract a crowd!" If I believe Him enough to burn up or out for Him, (in the world’s eyes) then people will see and take notice. TVH

Greg, thank you for this powerful ministry. Dare2Share has been the catalyst to the revolution in our Youth Ministry. In fact, we named our ministry the "One Way Revolution" to challenge our students to revolt against this dark world, but with God’s love. We just completed the Gospel Journey and what an awesome message/testimony/tool for our teens to watch. Your explanations throughout this series were so profound, yet simple for anyone to understand. Thank you again for great information and your energetic heart. Your passion is contagious. Our youth are praying to infect the world by using G.O.S.P.E.L. God Bless!

God help us as we attemp to break the "spiritual hobby" of the churched,and touch the world with the reality of a Savior who loves the raw, messy, lovely disasters. May we break down the walls of the church-with it’s dry, watered down imitation of the Gospel and truly become the BODY of CHRIST. I pray that we can effectivly get a hold of these students heart and allow the Spirit to cause a revival thrughout the world. Here I am Lord send me.
